Resumen
A unique feature of mature Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) parasitized RBC (pRBC) is that they bind to surface molecules of microvasculature endothelium via the parasite-derived surface protein PfEMP1. This ligand is associated with the cytoadherence pathology seen in severe malaria (SM) and recently our group has shown that even when treated with effective anti-malarial drug, pRBC are still able to cytoadhere, therefore, there is a need to find an adjunct treatment (in addition to antimalarial drugs) that can inhibit and reverse the adhesion process. Previous reports have suggested that sulphated glycoconjugates are highly effective at disrupting P. falciparum pRBC rosettes. Here, we investigate that effect by using sulphated polysaccharides and modified heparin for their effect to interrupt pRBC sequestration. We found that not all sulphated compounds or modified heparins were able to interrupt the sequestration process. Consideration of the inhibitory compounds generated some 18rules 19 fore exhibition of inhibitory properties: Sulphate position either at 6-O, or/and 2-O sulphate and N-sulphate is necessary for each compound. In addition, the multivalent effect and drug exhibit low anticoagulant activity also determined an active response to inhibit and de-sequestered P. falciparum pRBC on protein and endothelial cells. Here, we provide evidence that polysaccharides that possess a different level of sulphate, conformational structure and sulphate position act differently. This study also addressed the importance of pH host environment and extracellular matrix (glycocalyx) on the surface of endothelial cells on mediating pRBC binding. It found that pRBC bind significantly higher at pH 7-7.2 to CD36 and ICAM-1. Meanwhile, glycocalyx might interact as an instantaneous binder before pRBC reached ICAM-1 or CD36, unfortunately we cannot prove this due to methods and antibody chosen. The work reported in this thesis opens up new possibilities for therapeutic strategies targeting binding interaction of pRBC to host cells.

Resumen
L’environnement opératoire dans les domaines alimentaire et médical permet aux bactéries de se fixer et de se développer sur les surfaces, ce qui entraîne la formation de biofilms bactériens pathogènes et résistants. Ces structures pathogènes sont responsables de plusieurs maladies d'origine alimentaire et d'infections nosocomiales. Par conséquent, pour lutter contre ce fléau de santé publique, une approche possible est l'utilisation des technologies plasma froid pour l’élaboration de revêtements sur différents matériaux. Ce travail présente les différents facteurs influençant l'adhésion bactérienne à un substrat. En outre, les stratégies d’élaboration de revêtements passifs visant à prévenir la formation de biofilms par des traitements de surface par plasma froid sont décrites ainsi que les propriétés antiadhésives des surfaces élaborées. Les aspects généraux du revêtement, y compris les modifications physicochimiques de la surface et l'utilisation des technologies par plasma froid, sont également présentés. Dans ce contexte, une étude a été menée dans le but d'inhiber l'adhésion de la bactérie pathogène Salmonella enterica à la surface de l'acier inoxydable, via son traitement par plasma froid. Dans le but de limiter la formation du biofilm de Salmonella enterica, des revêtements organosiliciés à partir du monomère 1,1,3,3-tétraméthyldisiloxane, mélangé ou non à l’oxygène, ont été élaborés par polymérisation par plasma post-décharge micro-ondes d'azote. L'effet des paramètres du plasma froid sur les propriétés du revêtement, sur la topographie de la surface et sur l'adhésion des cellules Salmonella enterica a été étudié. Les résultats ont révélé que la topographie de la surface influençait de façon significative le taux d'adhésion des bactéries. En effet, les surfaces rugueuses n'ont pas inhibé l’adhésion de Salmonella enterica puisque le nombre de cellules adhérant à ces surfaces variait de 30 ± 4 à 65 ± 4 bactéries par champ microscopique. En revanche, un comportement anti-adhésif vis-à-vis de Salmonella enterica a été mis en évidence pour les surfaces plus lisses. En effet, le nombre de cellules attachées était proche de zéro sur ces revêtements. Une approche complémentaire à cette stratégie passive d'élaboration de surfaces anti-adhésives est le développement de surfaces actives. Les technologies émergentes de revêtements antimicrobiens actifs et efficaces permettent de relever le défi de l'élimination des biofilms pathogènes formés sur les matériaux utilisés dans les milieux hospitaliers et agroalimentaires. L'acier inoxydable est un matériau couramment utilisé dans ces domaines, mais il possède malheureusement des propriétés bio-fonctionnelles insuffisantes, ce qui le rend susceptible à l'adhésion bactérienne et au développement de biofilms. Dans ce contexte, cette thèse présente une revue des revêtements développés en employant des biocides et des peptides antimicrobiens (AMPs) greffés sur l'acier inoxydable. De plus, une nouvelle approche active basée sur l'acier inoxydable revêtu de nisine, un AMP commun accepté comme une alternative sûre pour prévenir le développement de biofilms pathogènes, est développée. Dans cette etude, des surfaces en acier inoxydable ont été fonctionnalisées par la nisine qui a été greffée à la surface soit via son groupe carboxylique ou via son groupe amino. En effet, les surfaces revêtues de nisine greffée via son groupe aminé ont montré une puissante activité antibactérienne tandis que la surface greffée avec la nisine liée par son groupe carboxyle n'a montré aucun effet antimicrobien. Les analyses des propriétés de surface ont permis de mieux comprendre les effets antibactériens, les caractéristiques chimiques et topographiques des surfaces traitées ainsi que la configuration et la quantification de la nisine
The operating environment in the food and medical fields allows bacteria to attach and grow on surfaces, resulting in the formation of pathogenic and resistant bacterial biofilms. These pathogenic structures are responsible for several foodborne illnesses and hospital-acquired infections. Therefore, to fight this public health scourge, one possible approach is the use of cold plasma technologies for the development of coatings on different materials. This work presents the different factors influencing bacterial adhesion to a substrate. In addition, strategies for the development of passive coatings to prevent biofilm formation by cold plasma surface treatments are described as well as the anti-adhesive properties of the developed surfaces. General aspects of coating, including physicochemical surface modifications and the use of cold plasma technologies, are also presented. In this context, a study was conducted to inhibit the adhesion of the pathogenic bacterium Salmonella enterica to the surface of stainless steel via cold plasma treatment. In order to limit the formation of Salmonella enterica biofilm, organosilicon coatings based on the monomer 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, mixed or not with oxygen, were elaborated by plasma polymerization with post-microwave nitrogen discharge. The effect of cold plasma parameters on coating properties, surface topography, and Salmonella enterica cell adhesion was studied. The results revealed that the surface topography significantly influenced the adhesion rate of bacteria. Indeed, rough surfaces did not inhibit Salmonella enterica adhesion as the number of cells adhering to these surfaces varied from 30 ± 4 to 65 ± 4 bacteria per microscopic field. On the other hand, an anti-adhesive behaviour towards Salmonella enterica was demonstrated for the smoother surfaces. Indeed, the number of attached cells was close to zero on these coatings. A complementary approach to this passive strategy of anti-adhesive surfaces is the development of active surfaces. Emerging technologies for effective active antimicrobial coatings are addressing the challenge of eliminating pathogenic biofilms formed on materials used in hospital and food processing environments. Stainless steel is a commonly used material in these fields, but unfortunately it has insufficient bio-functional properties, making it susceptible to bacterial adhesion and biofilm development. In this context, this thesis presents a review of coatings developed by employing biocides and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) grafted onto stainless steel. In addition, a new active approach based on stainless steel coated with nisin, a common AMP accepted as a safe alternative to prevent the development of pathogenic biofilms, is developed. In this study, stainless steel surfaces were functionalized by nisin which was grafted to the surface either via its carboxyl group or via its amino group. Indeed, the surfaces coated with nisin grafted via its amino group showed a potent antibacterial activity while the surface grafted with nisin linked via its carboxyl group showed no antimicrobial effect. Analyses of the surface properties provided insight into the antibacterial effects, chemical and topographical characteristics of the treated surfaces, and the configuration and quantification of nisin

Resumen
Here I describe a new function of Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) in driving anti-tumour immune evasion. The kinase activity of FAK in squamous cancer cells drives the recruitment of regulatory T-cells (Tregs) by transcriptionally regulating chemokine/cytokine and ligand-receptor networks, including the transcription of CCL5 and TGFβ, which are required for enhanced Treg recruitment. In turn, these changes inhibit antigen-primed cytotoxic CD8+ T-cell activity in the tumour microenvironment, permitting survival and growth of FAK-expressing tumours. I show that immune evasion requires FAK’s catalytic activity, and a small molecule FAK kinase inhibitor, VS-4718, which is currently in clinical development, drives depletion of Tregs and permits CD8+ T-cell-mediated tumour clearance. It is therefore likely that FAK inhibitors may trigger immune-mediated tumour regression, providing previously unrecognized therapeutic benefit.

Resumen
Dans le milieu marin, toute surface immergée est rapidement colonisée par des bactéries, puis par d’autres micro-organismes, conduisant à la formation de structures tridimensionnelles complexes appelées biofilms. Cette étape est généralement suivie par l’installation de macro-colonisateurs. Néanmoins, un certain nombre d’organismes marins, tels que les macro-algues, présentent des surfaces peu épiphytées à l’échelle macroscopique. Des algues méditerranéennes (Taonia atomaria et Dictyota spp.) ont été sélectionnées dans le cadre de ces travaux de thèse pour leur capacité à conserver leur surface peu colonisée. Cependant, des observations de leurs surfaces par microscopie ont montré l’existence de biofilms diversifiés à la surface de leurs thalles. Le but de cette thèse est de mieux comprendre les mécanismes de médiation chimique entre ces algues et les bactéries associées à leur surface. La première partie de ce travail a été consacrée à l’étude du rôle de molécules d’origine algale vis-à-vis de l’adhésion de bactéries marines. Pour cela, la composition chimique totale des algues sélectionnées a été analysée conduisant à l’isolement et à la caractérisation structurale de 12 molécules, dont trois se sont révélées être originales. L’activité anti-adhésion de la majorité de ces composés a ensuite été évaluée : le 1-O-octadecenoylglycérol s’est avéré être le produit le plus actif (20 µM < CE50 <55 µM). La deuxième partie a été dédiée plus particulièrement à l’étude du métabolome de surface de T. atomaria dans le but d’évaluer son implication dans les interactions écologiques entre l’algue et les bactéries associées à sa surface. Un protocole d’obtention et d’analyse spécifique des extraits surfaciques a tout d’abord été développé. Ce protocole est basé sur le trempage des thalles dans des solvants organiques et un contrôle de l’intégrité des cellules membranaires des algues y est associé. L’échantillonnage a été effectué mensuellement à Carqueiranne (Nord-ouest de la Méditerranée, France) durant la période allant de février à juillet 2013. Les résultats obtenus montrent qu’un sesquiterpène est exprimé majoritairement à la surface de l’algue. Il a été démontré que ce composé inhibe l’adhésion de souches bactériennes de référence tout en restant inactif vis-à-vis de celles isolées à la surface de l’algue. Une telle spécificité n’a pas été observée ni dans le cas de biocides commerciaux, ni pour les autres métabolites produits par T. atomaria. Dans un second temps, un suivi saisonnier des extraits de surface ainsi que des communautés bactériennes associées a été effectué par métabolomique (LC-MS) et DGGE, respectivement. Des fluctuations saisonnières de ces deux paramètres ont été reportées sans mettre en évidence de corrélation évidente entre eux. La présence de la molécule majeure de surface durant tout le suivi saisonnier a été notée ainsi que sa capacité à diffuser dans l’eau de mer. Enfin, l’étude de l’implication potentielle des bactéries associées à T. atomaria dans le contrôle du biofilm a été entreprise en évaluant l’activité de leurs extraits vis-à-vis de l’adhésion de souches de référence. En conclusion, nous émettons l'hypothèse que T. atomaria pourraient contrôler partiellement le biofilm associé à sa surface en faisant intervenir des métabolites spécifiques
In the marine environment, all submerged surfaces are rapidly colonized by bacteria and other microorganisms, resulting in the formation of complex three-dimensional structures called biofilms. This step could be followed by the attachment of macro-colonizers. Nevertheless, a number of marine organisms, such as macro-algae, appeared to be relatively free of epibionts at a macroscopic scale. In this study, several Mediterranean algae (Taonia atomaria and Dictyota spp.) were selected for their ability to keep their surface free of biofouling. However, microscopic techniques allowed the observation of a diversified biofilm on the surface of their thalli. The purpose of this work was to understand how this alga could interact with its associated bacteria using a chemical ecological approach. The first part of this work deals with studying the anti-adhesion properties of algal molecules against a range of marine bacteria. For this, the whole chemical composition of the two algae was analyzed leading to the isolation and structural characterization of 12 molecules from which three were found to be new. The anti-adhesion activity of some of these compounds was then evaluated: 1-O-octadecenoylglycerol proved to be the most active product (20 µM < EC50 <55 µM). The second part of this study was dedicated to the study of the surface metabolome of T. atomaria in order to assess its involvement in the ecological interactions between the alga and its associated bacteria. A specific extraction protocol was optimized for the surface compounds using a dipping technique in organic solvents associated with the integrity control of algal cell membrane. Sampling was carried out monthly at Carqueiranne (N W Mediterranean Sea, France) between February and July 2013. The results showed the presence of a major molecule in accordance with a sesquiterpenic structure. Anti-adhesion capacity against reference bacterial strains was noticed for this compound, while it remained inactive against strains isolated from the algal surface. This specificity was not observed for commercial biocides and the other molecules purified from crude algal extracts of T. atomaria. Then, changes in surface extracts and associated bacterial surface communities were monitored using metabolomics (LC-MS) and DGGE, respectively. Seasonal fluctuations for the two parameters could be reported without any evident correlation between them. The occurrence of the major molecule throughout the seasonal monitoring was also noticed and its capacity to diffuse in the marine environment was shown. Finally, the study of the potential involvement of the associated bacteria in the biofilm control was conducted by evaluating the anti-adhesion activity of their crude extracts against reference strains. In conclusion, we hypothesize that T. atomaria could control at least partially the biofilm at its surface using specific metabolites

Resumen
As Blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown is central to inflammatory lesion formation, it presents a potential target in the formulation of putative therapeutic agents in MS. The action of natalizumab, a monoclonal antibody acting at the BBB, is investigated through a phase III monotherapy trial (AFFIRM) and associated substudies. Subtle BBB disruption from non-inflamed lesions, which could contribute to axonal damage through leakage of inflammatory cells and associated mediators into surrounding parenchyma, is also studied. Introductory chapters (1-3) provide a brief overview of MS, clinical trials, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the BBB and natalizumab. Chapter four describes MRI results of AFFIRM- a 2 year multi-centre trial involving 942 patients. Compared with placebo, natalizumab reduced number of gadolinium (Gd)- enhancing lesions by 92%, new/enlarging T2-hyperintense lesions by 83%, and new T1- hypointense lesions by 76%. Chapter five describes a 57 patient AFFIRM trial substudy in which the influence of natalizumab on segmental atrophy was investigated. Atrophy was predominant in grey matter (GM) and was independent of lesion load. Fluctuations in white matter (WM) volume followed changes in inflammatory lesion load. Atrophy was not influenced by natalizumab. The effect of natalizumab on subtle BBB disruption (inferred by measuring the post-Gd %change in T1 weighted signal intensity) is studied in chapter 6. This AFFIRM substudy involved 40 patients (27 on natalizumab, 13 on placebo.) Although subtle BBB leakage was consistently detected in non-visibly enhancing lesions, natalizumab did not influence the degree of leakage. Chapter 7 describes a cross-sectional study which utilised post-Gd change in R1 (1/T1) as a marker BBB leakage. 19 patients (10 RRMS, 9 SPMS) were involved in this study. The subtle leakage observed from non-visibly enhancing lesions was distinct from leakage from visibly enhancing lesions. This was sustained over 60 minutes, greater in smaller lesions and in size-adjusted T1 hypointense lesions.

Resumen
Dans le cadre d’une hospitalisation, l’escarre est un souci majeur aussi bien pour le confort des patients que d’un point de vue économique. Le vieillissement de la population confronte de plus en plus le personnel soignant à la prévention et au traitement des escarres. La prophylaxie n’en est donc que plus essentielle dans les milieux hospitaliers. Force est de constater qu’il existe en la matière peu de produits spécialisés dont l’efficacité a été éprouvée. En partenariat avec le laboratoire RIVADIS, nous avons donc voulu élaborer un système galénique contenant une association d’actifs naturels innovants afin de prévenir l’escarre. Un état de l’art complet a été effectué sur la thématique des escarres afin d’en comprendre tous les facteurs de risques. Par la suite, une recherche approfondie a permis de sélectionner les plantes et molécules pouvant être utilisées comme actifs dans la prévention et/ou le traitement de cette pathologie. Notre attention s’est particulièrement attardée sur le pouvoir anti-inflammatoire, cicatrisant, antioxydant et anti-adhésion bactérienne de ces actifs. Les deux meilleurs actifs obtenus sont la pectine de pomme et l’extrait sec de Centella asiatica L., dont les résultats se sont avérés significatifs sur au moins trois propriétés recherchées. L’étude des effets combinés de ses deux actifs a même montré une synergie sur le pouvoir anti-adhésion bactérienne. Ils ont alors été incorporés sous forme galénique, de façon à rendre possible la réalisation d’un effleurage aussi facile que celui permis par les huiles déjà présentes sur le marché tout en autorisant l’incorporation d’actifs hydrophiles
In the case of a hospitalization, bedsores are a major issue regarding the comfort of the patient as well as economical reasons. Due to the aging population, the nurses are more and more confronted to prevention and treatment of bedsores. Thus, prevention is now considered as essential in hospitals. It must be noted that in matter of bedsores, there exist only a few specialized products which efficiency has been proved. Therefore, in association with RIVADIS Laboratory, we planed to work on a galenic formulation which contains a combination of innovative natural active. A complete compilation of specialized publications on this topic has been realized in order to fully understand all the risk factors. Then, thanks to an extensive research, we identified the plants and molecules that could be used as actives for the prevention and/or treatment of this pathology. We focused on their anti-inflammatory, healing, antioxidant and bacterial anti-adhesive properties. The two best actives thus obtained are apple pectin and dry Centella asiatica L. extract, they present significant results on at least three of the four wanted properties. Studying the combined effects of these two actives even showed a synergy on bacterial anti-adhesive property. They have then been incorporated in a galenic formulation that makes the massage as easy as the one allowed by already commercialised oils and enables the incorporation of hydrophilic actives

Resumen
"Regular ingestion of American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) has been traditionally utilized for its health benefits against urinary tract infections. The proanthocyanidins (PACs), in particular, the unique A-type double linkages of PACs present in cranberry, have been identified as the active components. However, A-type PACs and any other active agents have not yet been detected or identified in urine. Additional experiments are required to investigate the inhibitory effects and persistence of cranberry metabolites present in urine collected following CJC consumption, and to determine how these compounds act against uropathogenic Escherichia coli for the prevention of urinary tract infections. Two separate bioassays (a biofilm formation assay and a bacterial cell viability assay) were used to determine the in vitro effect of cranberry juice cocktail (CJC) oral consumption on bacterial anti-adhesion activity in a double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot clinical trial. A single dose of 16 oz. of CJC or a placebo beverage was given to ten healthy women, ages ranging from 18 to 27, and urine samples were collected in the following 48 hours. A washout period of seven days was allowed. Bacteria (Escherichia coli B37, CFT073, BF1023, HB101, and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC43866) were cultured in the urine samples, supplemented with media, and the amount of biofilm formed was measured using a crystal violet absorbance assay in a 96-well plate. In the urine of volunteers who had consumed CJC, biofilm formation was inhibited within 24 hours after CJC consumption, and started to increase after 48 hours by 49-67%. S. aureus showed the least biofilm formation after incubation with post-CJC urine. The results indicated that drinking CJC can be an effective preventive measure for bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation in healthy women. The anti-biofilm activity peaks between 24 and 48 hours after drinking CJC. The viability assay showed that the colony count after culturing in urine collected following consumption of CJC or placebo were not significantly different, implying that CJC works as an inhibitor by blocking bacterial adhesion instead of killing the bacteria or restraining its growth. Another randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover study was conducted to further investigate the molecular-scale effect of cranberry juice metabolites on two P-fimbriated E. coli strains: B37 and CFT 073, as assessed by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Three female subjects were asked to consume 8 oz. CJC or water. The washout period was 7 days. The urine samples were collected at 2, 4 and 6 hours post-ingestion of CJC or water. Urine collected before consumption of CJC was used as a control. For this control urine, the average adhesion force between E. coli and uroepithelial cells was 13.09 ± 11.60 nN for CFT073 and 10.30 ± 5.50 nN for B37. For post-CJC urine treatment, the adhesion forces decreased to 2.94 ± 1.82 nN at 2 hours after consumption then increased slightly to 5.51 ± 2.78 nN at 6 hours after ingestion for CFT073, while they decreased to 4.77 ± 3.33 nN after consuming for 2 hours and seemed to be stable in the next 4 hours following consumption (5.52 ± 4.04 nN after drinking for 4 hours; 5.05 ± 4.42 nN after drinking for 6 hours) for B37. The adhesion forces in post-water consumption urine were similar to those of the background for E. coli B37; meanwhile a downward trend for the adhesion forces in post-water consumption urine compared to the background was observed for E. coli CFT073. However, these adhesion forces in post-water consumption urine were still higher than those measured after CJC consumption at the same time intervals. The mean differences between the cranberry and placebo groups were statistically different according to the two way ANOVA procedure followed by Holm-Sidak test. Our results suggest a significant inhibitory interaction between the daily consumption of 8 oz. cranberry juice and bacterial adhesive activity. These results help form the mechanistic understanding of how cranberry products can be used to prevent bacterial attachment to host tissue, and may lead to new therapeutic strategies to prevent the rising problem of bacteria antibiotic resistance.  "

Resumen
Ice accretion on various surfaces can cause destructive effect of our lives, from cars, aircrafts, to infrastructure, power line, cooling and transportation systems. There are plenty of methods to overcome the icing problems including electrical, thermal and mechanical process to remove already accumulated ice on the surfaces and to reduce the risk of further operation. But all these process required substantial amount of energy and high cost of operation. To save the global energy and to improvement the safety issue in many infrastructure and transportation systems we have to introduce some passive anti-icing coating known as ice-phobic coating to reduce the ice-formation and ice adhesion onto the surface. Ice-phobic coatings mostly devoted to utilizing lotus-leaf-inspired superhydrophobic coatings. These surfaces show promising behavior due to the low contact area between the impacting water droplets and the surface. In this present study we investigate systematically the influence of chemical composition and functionality as well as structure of surfaces on wetting properties and later on icing behavior of surfaces. Robust anti-icing coating has been prepared by using modified silica particles as a particles film. Polymer brushes were synthesized on flat, particle surfaces by using Surface initiated ATRP. We have also investigated the effect of anti-icing behavior on the surfaces by varying surface chemistry and textures by using different sizes of particles. This approach is based on the reducing ice accumulation on the surfaces by reducing contact angle hysteresis. This is achieved by introducing nano to micro structured rough surfaces with varying surface chemistry on different substrates. Freezing and melting dynamics of water has been investigated on different surfaces by water vapour condensation in a high humidity (80%) condition ranging from super hydrophilic to super hydrophobic surfaces below the freezing point of water. Kinetics of frost formation and ice adhesion strength measurements were also performed for all samples. All these experiments were carried out in a custom humidity and temperature controlled chamber. We prepared a superhydrophobic surface by using Poly dimethyl siloxane (PDMS) modified fumed silica which display very low ice-adhesion strength almost 10 times lower than the unmodified surface. Also it has self-cleaning behavior after melting of ice since whole ice layer was folded out from the surface to remove the ice during melting. Systematic investigation of the effect of three parameters as surface energy, surface textures (structure, geometry and roughness) and mechanical properties of polymers (soft and stiff) on icing behavior has also been reported.

Resumen
Dans le milieu marin, toute surface immergée est rapidement colonisée par des bactéries, puis par d’autres micro-organismes, conduisant à la formation de structures tridimensionnelles complexes appelées biofilms. Cette étape est généralement suivie par l’installation de macro-colonisateurs. Néanmoins, un certain nombre d’organismes marins, tels que les macro-algues, présentent des surfaces peu épiphytées à l’échelle macroscopique. Des algues méditerranéennes (Taonia atomaria et Dictyota spp.) ont été sélectionnées dans le cadre de ces travaux de thèse pour leur capacité à conserver leur surface peu colonisée. Cependant, des observations de leurs surfaces par microscopie ont montré l’existence de biofilms diversifiés à la surface de leurs thalles. Le but de cette thèse est de mieux comprendre les mécanismes de médiation chimique entre ces algues et les bactéries associées à leur surface. La première partie de ce travail a été consacrée à l’étude du rôle de molécules d’origine algale vis-à-vis de l’adhésion de bactéries marines. Pour cela, la composition chimique totale des algues sélectionnées a été analysée conduisant à l’isolement et à la caractérisation structurale de 12 molécules, dont trois se sont révélées être originales. L’activité anti-adhésion de la majorité de ces composés a ensuite été évaluée : le 1-O-octadecenoylglycérol s’est avéré être le produit le plus actif (20 µM < CE50 <55 µM). La deuxième partie a été dédiée plus particulièrement à l’étude du métabolome de surface de T. atomaria dans le but d’évaluer son implication dans les interactions écologiques entre l’algue et les bactéries associées à sa surface. Un protocole d’obtention et d’analyse spécifique des extraits surfaciques a tout d’abord été développé. Ce protocole est basé sur le trempage des thalles dans des solvants organiques et un contrôle de l’intégrité des cellules membranaires des algues y est associé. L’échantillonnage a été effectué mensuellement à Carqueiranne (Nord-ouest de la Méditerranée, France) durant la période allant de février à juillet 2013. Les résultats obtenus montrent qu’un sesquiterpène est exprimé majoritairement à la surface de l’algue. Il a été démontré que ce composé inhibe l’adhésion de souches bactériennes de référence tout en restant inactif vis-à-vis de celles isolées à la surface de l’algue. Une telle spécificité n’a pas été observée ni dans le cas de biocides commerciaux, ni pour les autres métabolites produits par T. atomaria. Dans un second temps, un suivi saisonnier des extraits de surface ainsi que des communautés bactériennes associées a été effectué par métabolomique (LC-MS) et DGGE, respectivement. Des fluctuations saisonnières de ces deux paramètres ont été reportées sans mettre en évidence de corrélation évidente entre eux. La présence de la molécule majeure de surface durant tout le suivi saisonnier a été notée ainsi que sa capacité à diffuser dans l’eau de mer. Enfin, l’étude de l’implication potentielle des bactéries associées à T. atomaria dans le contrôle du biofilm a été entreprise en évaluant l’activité de leurs extraits vis-à-vis de l’adhésion de souches de référence. En conclusion, nous émettons l'hypothèse que T. atomaria pourraient contrôler partiellement le biofilm associé à sa surface en faisant intervenir des métabolites spécifiques
In the marine environment, all submerged surfaces are rapidly colonized by bacteria and other microorganisms, resulting in the formation of complex three-dimensional structures called biofilms. This step could be followed by the attachment of macro-colonizers. Nevertheless, a number of marine organisms, such as macro-algae, appeared to be relatively free of epibionts at a macroscopic scale. In this study, several Mediterranean algae (Taonia atomaria and Dictyota spp.) were selected for their ability to keep their surface free of biofouling. However, microscopic techniques allowed the observation of a diversified biofilm on the surface of their thalli. The purpose of this work was to understand how this alga could interact with its associated bacteria using a chemical ecological approach. The first part of this work deals with studying the anti-adhesion properties of algal molecules against a range of marine bacteria. For this, the whole chemical composition of the two algae was analyzed leading to the isolation and structural characterization of 12 molecules from which three were found to be new. The anti-adhesion activity of some of these compounds was then evaluated: 1-O-octadecenoylglycerol proved to be the most active product (20 µM < EC50 <55 µM). The second part of this study was dedicated to the study of the surface metabolome of T. atomaria in order to assess its involvement in the ecological interactions between the alga and its associated bacteria. A specific extraction protocol was optimized for the surface compounds using a dipping technique in organic solvents associated with the integrity control of algal cell membrane. Sampling was carried out monthly at Carqueiranne (N W Mediterranean Sea, France) between February and July 2013. The results showed the presence of a major molecule in accordance with a sesquiterpenic structure. Anti-adhesion capacity against reference bacterial strains was noticed for this compound, while it remained inactive against strains isolated from the algal surface. This specificity was not observed for commercial biocides and the other molecules purified from crude algal extracts of T. atomaria. Then, changes in surface extracts and associated bacterial surface communities were monitored using metabolomics (LC-MS) and DGGE, respectively. Seasonal fluctuations for the two parameters could be reported without any evident correlation between them. The occurrence of the major molecule throughout the seasonal monitoring was also noticed and its capacity to diffuse in the marine environment was shown. Finally, the study of the potential involvement of the associated bacteria in the biofilm control was conducted by evaluating the anti-adhesion activity of their crude extracts against reference strains. In conclusion, we hypothesize that T. atomaria could control at least partially the biofilm at its surface using specific metabolites

Sodium alginate is polysaccharide extracted from seaweed and used as a biomaterial clinically. The alginate in this study was used as gel- or sponge-formed and combined with a polyglycolic acid (PGA) mesh, a useful biomaterial clinically; namely this combination was the new sealing material. The purpose of this study was to prevent pulmonary air leak without inducing adhesion. This study was composed of the four animal experiments; the first half of them was about preventing air leak and the latter was about preventing adhesion. All experiments showed that new sealing material was superior to the conventional treatments. Therefore the new sealing material was expected to be applied clinically to a sealing material, which also has an anti-adhesive effect.

Resumen
L'objectif de ce projet repose sur le développement d’un dispositif médical intra-utérin résorbable prévenant l’apparition ou la récidive d'adhérences intra-utérines (synéchies). La mise en place de ce dispositif suite à chaque agréssion endométriale représenterait un bénéfice symptômatique et économique dans la prise en charge de l’infertilité par trouble de l'implantation. Ce dispositif repose sur l'association originale de polymères résorbables mis sous forme de films stérilisés et maléables, répondants aux contraintes spécifiques de la voie endo-utérine. Des tests sur culture cellulaire ont permis de valider son potentiel anti-adhérentiel en retrouvant des résultats comparables à ceux d’agents barrières disponibles sur le marché. La dégradation in vitro et in vivo du polymère a été étudiée afin de valider un délai d’efficacité suffisant. Des travaux expérimentaux ont été conduits après accord des comités d’éthiques. D’une part, des tests de reproduction animale ont été menés afin de démontrer l’innocuité du dispositif et son efficacité sur la fertilité. D’autre part, des travaux ont permis de valider sur le plan histologique l’effet préventif sur les synéchies. Un travail de modélisation a permis d’adapter la forme du film pour la voie utérine. Les tests de déploiement ont été conduits sur des utérus de cadavre et sur des pièces d’hystérectomie. Après mise en place aisée par les voies naturelles, le dispositif se déploie et gonfle afin de recouvrir la cavité utérine. Des travaux précliniques pourraient être envisagés avant un développement industriel afin d’améliorer les outils disponibles pour la prévention des synéchies intra-utérines
The objective of this study was to develop an resorbable intra-uterine medical device preventing the appearance or the recurrence of intra-uterine adhesions (synechiaes). The insertion of the device following each endometrial injury would represent a symptomatic and economic benefit in the treatment of infertility by implantation failure. This device is base on the unique combination of resorbables polymers formed into sterilized and malleable films, respondents to the specific constraints of the endo-uterine way. Cellular assays allowed validating the anti-adhesive effect with results comparable to those of currents agents available for the clinical practice. The in vitro and in vivo degradation of the polymer was study to validate a sufficient period of efficiency. The use of experimental models allowed an evaluation of the polymer. On one hand, tests of animal reproduction were lead to demonstrate the harmlessness of the device and the efficiency on the fertility. On the other hand, work has validated histologically preventive effect on synechiaes. Finally, a modeling work allowed adapting the form and dimension of the film for the human uterine way. Tests of deployment carried out on fresh uterus from hysterectomy. After the insertion by the cervical way, the device unfolds and inflates to cover the uterine cavity. Preclinical studies could be done before an industrial development in order to improve the available tools for the clinical prevention of the intra-uterine synechiaes

Magnesium stannate (Mg2SnO4) and titanate (Mg2TiO4) are inverse spinel-type oxides, applied as humidity sensors, hot resistor, dieletric, temperature compensation capacitor, electronic ceramic and refractory material. In the present work, these two materials were combined in order to obtain a solid solution, Mg2(Ti1-xSnx)O4, (x = 0; 0,25; 0,50; 0,75; 1,0) by the modified-Pechini method, in order to investigate the influence of Sn4+ substitution for Ti4+ in the spinel lattice for application as photocatalyst for discoloration of Gold yellow remazol and to avoid micro-organism adhesion into surfaces. The synthesis of the spinels was optimized. Catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-visibe spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, surface area measurement using BET method. Mg2TiO4 is a metastable compound, which decomposes into ilmenite (MgTiO3) above 800 °C. On the other hand, reaches long-range order at lower temperatures, while single phase Mg2SnO4 is only obtained from 900 °C. For these reasons, different temperatures are necessary to obtain the single phase materials. Infrared and Raman spectra confirmed the presence of [MgO6]-10, [TiO6]-8, [SnO6]-8 octahedra and (MgO4)-6 tetrahedra. The photocatalytic tests were carried out in a reactor comprising of UVC lamp (λ = 254 nm). Mg2SnO4 presented the best photocatalytic result, with 79% of discoloration at pH 6 and 87% at pH 3, while Mg2TiO4 showed 7% of conversion at pH 6, without increasing efficiency at pH 3. The obtained spinels were effective in inhibiting bacterial and fungal growth as indicated by fluorescence analysis for Gram positive bacteria (S. aureus and S. mutans), Gram negative bacteria (P. aeruginosa and E. coli) and fungus (Candida albicans) showing the potential for microbial anti-adhesion material. Tests with higher titanium content showed the best results except for E. coli.
O estanato (Mg2SnO4) e o titanato de magnésio (Mg2TiO4) são óxidos do tipo espinélio inverso, aplicados como sensores de umidade, resistor de calor, dielétrico, capacitor para compensação de temperatura, cerâmica eletrônica e material refratário. Nesse trabalho, os dois materiais foram combinados com a finalidade de obter uma solução sólida, Mg2(Ti1-xSnx)O4, (x = 0; 0,25; 0,50; 0,75; 1,0), utilizando o método Pechini modificado, de modo a investigar a influência da substituição dos íons Sn4+ por íons Ti4+ na rede do espinélio para aplicação como catalisadores na descoloração do corante remazol amarelo ouro e na antiadesão microbiana. A síntese dos espinélios foi otimizada. Os catalisadores foram caracterizados pelas técnicas de difração de raios-X, espectroscopia na região do ultravioleta e do visível, e espectroscopia Raman, espectroscopia na região do infravermelho e medida de área superficial por BET. O Mg2TiO4 é um composto metaestável, se decompondo em ilmenita (MgTiO3) acima de 800 °C. Por outro lado, o Mg2TiO4 se organiza a longo alcance em temperaturas mais baixas enquanto que o Mg2SnO4 monofásico é obtido apenas a partir de 900°C. Com isso, observa-se que diferentes temperaturas são necessárias para se obter os materiais monofásicos. Os espectros de IV e Raman confirmaram a presença dos octaedros [MgO6]-10, [TiO6]-8, [SnO6]-8 e tetraedro (MgO4)-6. Os testes fotocatalíticos foram realizados em um reator composto por lâmpadas UVC (λ = 254 nm). O Mg2SnO4 apresentou o melhor resultado, com descoloração de 79 % em pH 6 e 87 % em pH 3, enquanto o Mg2TiO4 apresentou conversão de 7 % em pH 6, sem aumento de eficiência em pH 3. Os espinélios obtidos mostraram-se eficazes na inibição do crescimento bacteriano e fúngico como indicado pela análise de fluorescência para bactérias Gram positivas (S. aureus e S. mutans), Gram negativas (P. aeruginosa e E. coli) e para o fungo (Candida albicans) mostrando o potencial de antiadesão microbiana dos materiais. Os testes com maior teor de titânio apresentaram os melhores resultados exceto para a E. coli.

Resumen
Icing severely affects society, especially in the Nordic countries. Iceaccumulation can result in critical performance problems and safetyconcerns for instance in road, air and sea transportation, transmissionlines, marine and offshore structures, wind turbines and heat exchangers.Present active ice-combating approaches possess environmental,efficiency and cost drawbacks. Thus, fabricating icephobic surfaces orcoatings impeding ice formation (anti-icing), but facilitating ice removal(de-icing) is desired. However, different conditions in the environmentduring ice formation and growth add to the complexity of the problem.An icephobic surface that works for a certain application might not be agood candidate for another. These surfaces and the challenges are infocus in this thesis.Wetting properties are important for ice formation on surfaces fromthe liquid phase (often supercooled water), where the water repellency ofthe surfaces could enhance their anti-icing effect. Considering this,different hydrophobic and superhydrophobic surfaces with differentchemistry, morphology and roughness scale were prepared. Since anyinduced wetting state hysteresis on hydrophobic surfaces could influencetheir performance, the wetting stability was investigated. In particulardynamic wetting studies of the hydrophobic surfaces revealed whatsurface characteristics benefit a stable wetting performance. Further, theeffect of temperature, particularly sub-zero temperatures, on the wettingstate of flat and nanostructured hydrophobic surfaces was investigated.This was complemented with studies of the wetting stability of sessilewater droplets on flat to micro- and multi-scale (micro-nano) roughhydrophobic samples in a freeze-thaw cycle. To be consistent with mostapplications, all temperature-controlled experiments were performed inan environmental condition facilitating frost formation. Further, antiicingproperties of hydrophobic surfaces with different topography butsimilar chemistry were studied by freezing delay measurements.A dynamic wetting study using hydrophobic samples with similarchemistry but different topography revealed that multi-scale roughnesscould benefit the wetting stability. However, when these surfaces areutilized at low temperatures the wetting hysteresis observed during acooling/heating cycle is significant. Such a temperature-inducedhysteresis is also significant on superhydrophobic surfaces. I attributethis to condensation followed by frost formation facilitating spreading of  the supercooled water droplet. The freezing delay measurementsdemonstrate no significant effect of surface topography on anti-icingproperties of hydrophobic surfaces, however the flat surfaces showed thelongest delay. These findings are in agreement with heterogeneous icenucleation theory, suggesting preferential ice nucleation in concave sites,provided they are wetted.In the second part of this thesis, I consider the findings from theprevious part illustrating the limitations of (super)hydrophobic surfaces.The de-icing properties of hydrophilic surfaces with a hydration waterlayer, hypothesized to lubricate the interface with ice, were studied. Heretemperature-controlled shear ice adhesion measurements, down to -25oC, were performed on an adsorbed layer of a polymer, either bottle-brushstructured poly(ethylene oxide) or linear poly(ethylene oxide). The iceadhesion strength was reduced significantly on the bottle-brushstructured polymer layer, specifically at temperatures above -15 oC,whereas less adhesion reduction was observed on the layer formed by thelinear polymer. These findings are consistent with differential scanningcalorimetry (DSC) data, demonstrating that the hydration water, boundto the bottle-brush structured polymer, is in the liquid state at thetemperatures where de-icing benefit is observed. Further, continuingwith the hypothesis of the advantage of surfaces with a natural lubricantlayer for de-icing targets, I studied shear ice adhesion on the molecularlyflat basal plane of hydrophilic mica down to -35 oC. Interestingly, ultralowice adhesion strength was measured on this surface. I relate this to theproposed distinct structure of the first ice-like but fluid water layer onmica, with no free OH groups, followed by more bulk liquid-like layers.This combined with the molecularly smooth nature of mica results in aperfect plane for ice sliding.
Isbildning har en stark inverkan på samhället, speciellt i de nordiskaländerna. Isuppbyggnad kan resultera i kritiska prestandaproblem ochsäkerhetsrisker inom t.ex. väg-, luft-, och sjötransport, kraftledningar,marina- och offshorestrukturer, vindkraftverk och värmeväxlare.Nuvarande aktiva isbekämpningsmetoder uppvisar brister i avseende påmiljö, effektivitet och kostnad. Det finns därmed ett behov av attframställa ytor eller ytbeläggningar som förhindrar isbildning (antiisning)eller underlättar borttagandet av redan bildad is (avisning). Dockkompliceras problemet av de många olika förhållanden under vilka is kanbildas. En beläggning som fungerar för en viss tillämpning behöver intenödvändigtvis vara en bra kandidat för en annan. Dessa ytor ochutmaningar relaterade till dem är i fokus i denna avhandling.Vätningsegenskaper är viktiga för isbildning på ytor från vätskefas(ofta underkylt vatten), och det har visats att vattenavstötande ytor i vissasammanhang kan motverka isbildning. Med detta i åtanke framställdesolika hydrofoba och superhydrofoba ytor, med varierande kemi,morfologi och ytråhet. Eftersom en förändring i de hydrofoba ytornasvätningsegenskaper kan påverka deras funktion studerades vätningsstabilitetenför dessa ytor. I synnerhet dynamiska vätningsstudier av dehydrofoba ytorna avslöjade vilka ytegenskaper som är fördelaktiga förvätningsstabiliteten. Vidare studerades hur temperaturen, särskilt undernoll grader, påverkar vätningstillståndet på släta och nanostruktureradehydrofoba ytor. Arbetet kompletterades med studier av vätningsstabilitetenför vattendroppar på släta samt mikro- och multistrukturerade(mikro-nano) hydrofoba ytor under flera frysningsupptiningscykler.För att vara i linje med de flesta tillämpningar, utfördesalla temperaturkontrollerade mätningar i en miljö där frost kunde bildaspå ytorna. Anti-isegenskaperna hos de hydrofoba ytorna med varierandetopografi men samma kemi studerades vidare genom att studera hur långtid det dröjde innan en vattendroppe på ytan fryste vid en visstemperatur.De dynamiska vätningsstudierna på hydrofoba ytor med samma kemimen olika topografi avslöjade att en ytråhet på flera längdskalor kan haen positiv inverkan på vätningsstabiliteten. När dessa ytor är exponeradeför låga temperaturer är dock vätningshysteresen under en nedkylnings-/uppvärmnings-cykel significant. Den temperatur-inducerade hysteresenär också betydande för superhydrofoba ytor. Detta tillskriver jag  kondensation på ytan som följs av frostbildning, vilket i sin tur möjliggörspridning av den underkylda vattendroppen på ytan. Mätning avfördröjningen i frysningsförloppet påvisade ingen betydande effekt avyttopografin för hydrofoba ytor, men släta hydrofoba ytor uppvisade denlängsta fördröjningen. Dessa resultat är i överensstämmelse med rådandeheterogen iskärnbildningsteori, som visar på fördelaktig iskärnbildningpå konkava delar av ytan, förutsatt att dessa väts.I den andra delen av avhandlingen utnyttjar jag observationerna frånden första delen vilka illustrerade begränsningarna för superhydrofobaytor, och söker en annan lösning. Avisningsegenskaper för hydrofilastarkt hydratiserade ytor studerades, med hypotesen att hydratiseringkan smörja gränsskiktet med is. Temperatur-kontrolleradeisadhesionsmätningar ned till -25 °C utfördes på adsorberade skikt av enpolymer med många sidokedjor av polyetylenoxid (”bottle-brush”), såvälsom på ett skikt av linjär polyetylenoxid. Isadhesionen blev kraftigtreducerad på ”bottle-brush”-polymeren, speciellt vid temperaturer högreän -15°C. Däremot kunde knappast ingen minskad isadhesion observerasför den linjära polymeren. Dessa observationer överensstämmer meddifferentialskanningskalorimetri (DSC) data, som visar att dethydratiserade vattenskiktet, vilket är bundet till ”bottle-brush”-polymeren, är i vätskeform vid de temperaturer där avisningsfördelar ärobserverade. För att vidare undersöka hypotesen att det vore fördelaktigtmed ett naturligt smörjande skikt på ytan för att uppnå godaavisningsegenskaper, utförde jag isadhesionsmätningar på molekylärtsläta glimmerytor ner till -35 °C. Intressant nog uppmättes extremt lågisadhesion på denna yta. Detta relaterar jag till den föreslagna utprägladehydratiseringsstrukturen, bestående av ett första is-liknande vattenskiktutan fria OH-grupper, följt av ett mer bulkliknande skikt. Detta ikombination med den molekylärt släta naturen hos glimmer resulterar iett perfekt plan för isen att glida på.

Resumen
The membrane mucin Muc4 is a heterodimer, bi-functional glycoprotein complex that is normally expressed in epithelial tissue. Functional studies on the extracellular mucin subunit of Muc4 have shown that it acts to promote anti-adhesion properties by sterically interfering with cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions and that the extent of this effect is directly associated with the number of tandem repeats on this subunit. Functional studies on the transmembrane subunit of Muc4 have shown that this subunit participates in intracellular signaling through interaction with the receptor tyrosine kinase ErbB2. This role of Muc4 was shown to be mediated by stabilizing the heregulin ligand-induced ErbB2-ErbB3 heterodimer through interference with the internalization process of these receptors, thus potentiating the PI3K, a survival-signaling pathway that is mediated by this heterodimer. However, Muc4 was also shown to potentiate ErbB2 phosphorylation in the absence of heregulin by an unknown mechanism. The aim of this work was to examine the role of Muc4 in intracellular signaling by evaluating the ligand-independent Muc4-ErbB2 interaction. Biochemical analyses of A375 human melanoma cells expressing Muc4 under different cell treatments, and probed with phospho-specific antibodies, were used to understand the mechanism. An antibody microarray screen was used to decipher the intracellular activated signaling pathways. The results of the mechanistic analysis indicated that Muc4 potentiates ErbB2 signaling significantly by interacting with ErbB2 and ErbB3 and by stabilizing the kinase active ErbB2 receptor, thus increasing its phosphorylation signal half-life and resulting in sustained ErbB2 signaling. The signaling pathway analysis suggests that through Muc4 direct interaction with ErbB2, signaling pathways that promote loss of cell polarity are activated. Loss of cell-cell adhesion is mediated by interference with the cadherin-catenin complex stability, and loss of cell-matrix adhesion is mediated by facilitating focal adhesion turnover. Together, these results suggest that Muc4 is a potent oncogenic factor, and further enhance our understanding of the role that Muc4 plays in ligand-independent intracellular signaling.

Resumen
Abstract Mammalian female sex development was considered a default developmental pathway. However, the deletion of the Wnt4 gene, a member of the Wnt family of secreted signals, was shown to reverse the sex of XX female mouse embryo and caused exhibition of certain male characteristics. This indicated that the female sexual development cannot be default but depends on active signaling and cell-cell interaction. The aim of the current study was to reveal the functional role of the Wnt4 gene in the control of sex determination, ovariogenesis and female sex duct formation. This study demonstrates that testosterone is produced by the ovary of Wnt4-deficient female embryos. The inhibition of androgen action by an antiandrogen, flutamide, during gestation leads to complete degeneration of the Wolffian ducts in 80% of the Wnt4 mutant females. This suggests that testosterone is the possible mediator of the masculinization phenotype in Wnt4-deficient females. Wnt4 is expressed by ovarian somatic cells, which are vital for the control of female germline development. This work has shown that Wnt4 is the factor maintaining germ cell cysts, cell-cell interaction and early follicular gene expression. In addition, the findings indicate a critical role for Wnt4/5a signaling in meiosis. Our research has proven that Wnt4 has roles during postnatal ovary development as its defective signaling leads to premature ovarian failure associated with diminished Amh levels, defective basement membrane and cell polarization. The Mullerian duct, the anlagen of oviduct, uterus and upper part of vagina, does not form in Wnt4-deficient females. This study indicates that Wnt4 is needed for migration initiation and maintenance during Mullerian duct formation prenatally. During the postnatal uterine differentiation Wnt4 is essential for endometrial gland formation. The present study provides new evidence for Wnt4 function during embryonic and adult female sexual differentiation
Tiivistelmä Nisäkkäiden naaraspuolista kehitystä pidettiin aiemmin sukupuolisen erilaistumiskehityksen oletusarvona. Signaloivien proteiinien Wnt-perheeseen kuuluvan Wnt4-geenin puutteen todettiin kuitenkin johtavan XX naarasalkion sukupuolen kääntymisen koiraaksi sekä aiheuttavan tiettyjä koiraille ominaisia piirteitä. Tämä osoitti, ettei naaraspuolinen kehitys ole oletusarvo, vaan se riippuu aktiivisesta signaloinnista ja solujen välisestä interaktiosta. Tämän väitöstutkimuksen tarkoitus oli selvittää Wnt4-geenin roolia sukupuolen määräytymisessä, munasarjojen kehittymisessä sekä naaraan sukupuolitiehyitten muodostumisessa. Tutkimuksessa osoitettiin, että munasarjat tuottavat testosteronia niillä naaraspuolisilla alkioilla, joilta puuttuu Wnt4-geeni. 80 prosentilla naaraista, joilla on Wnt4-geenin puute, androgeenivaikutuksen esto raskauden aikana annettavalla antiandrogeenilla, flutamidilla, estää sukupuolen vaihtumisen fenotyypin. Tämä viittaa siihen, että testosteroni toimii mahdollisena koiraan fenotyypin välittäjänä naarailla, joilta puuttuu Wnt4-geeni. Wnt4 ilmentyy munasarjojen somaattisissa soluissa, jotka ovat tärkeitä naaraspuolisen ituradan kehityksen säätelyn kannalta. Väitöstutkimus osoittaa, että Wnt4 on itusoluryppäitä, solujen välistä interaktiota sekä varhaista follikkeligeeni-ilmentymistä ylläpitävä tekijä. Tulokset osoittavat myös, että Wnt4/5a -signaloinnilla on tärkeä rooli meioosissa. Tutkimus osoittaa lisäksi, että Wnt4 vaikuttaa munasarjojen kehitykseen myös syntymän jälkeen. Puutteellinen signalointi alentaa Anti-Müllerian hormonin tasoa, heikentää tyvikalvoa ja vähentää solujen polarisaatiota, joka johtaa ennenaikaiseen munasarjojen toiminnan hiipumiseen. Müllerin tiehyet, joista myöhemmin kehittyvät munanjohtimet, kohtu ja vaginan yläosa, jäävät kokonaan muodostumatta naarailla, joilta puuttuu Wnt4-geeni. Tulokset viittaavat siihen, että Wnt4 on tarpeen alkioaikaiseen Müllerin tiehyen muodostavien solujen liikkeellelähtöön ja ylläpitoon. Wnt4:llä on myös keskeinen rooli kohturauhasten muodostumisessa sukukypsyyden saavuttamisen aikana ja sen jälkeen

Resumen

Angiogenesis, de novo synthesis of blood vessels from the pre-existing vasculature, is required both during embryonic development and in pathophysiological conditions. In particular, tumor growth needs new capillary vessels in order to both deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove toxin and metabolites. Growth of most solid tumors would be restricted to a microscopic size in the absence of neovascularization. Angiogenesis ensues as a result of a shift in the balance between pro- and anti-angiogenic molecules.

Histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRGP) is a heparin-binding plasma protein. We showed that HRGP inhibits endothelial cell migration and adhesion to vitronectin. As a consequence, HRGP attenuates growth and vascularization of mouse model tumors. The anti-angiogenic effect of HRGP is mediated by the central histidine/proline (His/Pro)-rich domain, which must be released from the parent molecule to exert its effect. A 35-amino acid residue peptide denoted HRGP330, derived from the His/Pro-rich domain, was identified as a minimal active anti-angiogenic domain of HRGP. HRGP330 induces disruption of molecular interactions required for cell motility, such as the integrin-linked kinase/paxillin complex. Moreover, HRGP330 inhibits VEGF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of α-actinin, a focal adhesion kinase (FAK) substrate. Consequently, the motility of endothelial cells is arrested. By use of a signal transduction antibody array, we identified FAK, paxillin and growth factor receptor-bound 2 (Grb2) as tyrosine phosphorylated in HRGP330-treated cells. We confirmed that HRGP targets focal adhesions in endothelial cells, thereby disrupting the cytoskeletal organization and the ability of endothelial cells to assemble into vessel structures. A critical role of FAK in HRGP-inhibition of angiogenesis was validated using a FAK inhibitor, geldanamycin, which allowed rescue of endothelial cell actin rearrangement.

We identified another potential mechanism in the HRGP/HRGP330 anti-angiogenic effects, exerted through regulation of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). HRGP/HRGP330 treatment led to reduced TAM infiltration, which in turn caused a marked decrease in VEGF and MMP-9 levels in the tumor.

Taken together, our present studies show that HRGP/HRGP330 target endothelial cell adhesion, migration, focal adhesions, and furthermore, that HRGP is involved in regulation of macrophage infiltration.

Resumen
Fouling is a chronic problem in many heat transfer systems and results in the need for frequent heat exchanger (HEX) cleaning. In the dairy industry, the associated operating cost and environmental impact are substantial. Antifouling coatings are one mitigation option. In this work, the fouling behaviour of fluoropolymer, polypropylene and stainless steel heat transfer surfaces in processing raw milk and whey protein solution are studied. Methodologies to assess the economics of antifouling coatings are developed and applied. Two experimental apparatuses were designed and constructed to study fouling at surface temperatures around 90 °C. A microfluidic system with a 650 x 2000 µm flow channel enables fouling studies to be carried out by recirculating 2 l of raw milk. The apparatus operates in the laminar flow regime and the capability to probe the local composition of delicate fouling deposit $\textit{in-situ}$ with histological techniques employing confocal laser scanning microscopy. A larger bench-scale apparatus with a 10 x 42 mm flow channel was built to recirculate 17 l of solution in the turbulent flow regime which is more representative of conditions in an industrial plate HEX. Experimental results demonstrate that fluoropolymer coatings can reduce fouling masses from raw milk and whey protein solution by up to 50 %. Surface properties affect the structure and composition of the deposit. At the interface with apolar surfaces raw milk fouling layers are high in protein, whereas a strongly attached mineral-rich layer is present at the interface with steel. Whey protein deposits generated on apolar surfaces are more spongy and have a lower thermal conductivity and/or density than deposits on steel. The attraction of denatured protein towards apolar surfaces and the formation of a calcium phosphate layer on steel at later stages of fouling are explained with arguments based on the interfacial free energy of these materials in water. The financial attractiveness of coatings is considered for HEX subject to linearly and asymptotically increasing fouling resistance and using a spatially resolved fouling model. An explicit solution to the cleaning-scheduling problem is presented for the case of equal heat capacity flow rates in a counter-current HEX. Scenarios where the use of coatings may be attractive or where there is no financial benefit in cleaning a fouled exchanger are identified. Finally, experimental data are used to estimate the economic potential of fluoropolymer coated HEXs in the ultra-high-temperature treatment of milk. In the considered case, the value of a fluoropolymer coating inferred from the reduction in fouling is estimated to be around 2000 US$/m².

Texto completo
Resumen
The adhesive and frictional response of an AFM tip connected to a substrate through supramolecular host–guest complexes is investigated by dynamic Monte Carlo simulations. Here, the variation of the pull-off force with the unloading rate recently observed in experiments is unraveled by evidencing simultaneous (progressive) breaking of the bonds at fast (slow) rates. The model reveals the origin of the observed plateaus in the retraction force as a function of the tip-surface distance, showing that they result from the tip geometrical features. In lateral sliding, the model exhibits a wide range of dynamic behaviors ranging from smooth sliding to stick-slip at different velocities, with the average friction force determined by the characteristic formation/rupture rates of the complexes. In particular, it is shown that for some molecular complexes friction can become almost constant over a wide range of velocities. Also, we show the possibility of exploiting the ageing effect through slide-hold-slide experiments, in order to infer the characteristic formation rate. Finally, our model predicts a novel ‘‘antiageing’’ effect which is characterized by a decrease of the static friction force with the hold time. Such an effect is explained in terms of enhancement of adhesion during sliding, especially observed at high driving velocities.

Sulfated Polysaccharides with unique chemical structures and important biological activities has been found in a diversity of sea invertebrates. For that, to exist a huger interest on the biotechnology field in the research theses sulfated compounds isolated from sea organisms. Despite the privileged brazilian position for these compounds attainment, there are still a few scientific informations about the isolated substances and their biological activities. A head the displayed, the present work has for objectives, to evaluate the pharmacological properties of the glycosaminoglycans isolated from the sea shrimp Litopenaeus schimitti on homeostasis, blood coagulation, leukocytes migration and platelet/leukocyte adhesion. For this, yhe glycosaminoglycans were extracted from crustacean tissues by proteolysis, fractionation with acetone and later submitted to pharmacological assays. The crustacean tissues showed compounds heparin-like, with anticoagulant activity of 45 IU/mg and 90 IU/mg, respectively. These molecules showed low residual hemorrhagic effects in the tested concentration (100 ?g/mL), when compared to unfractionated commercial heparin (UFH). Another dermatan sulfate-like compound, predominately constituted for disulfated disaccharides, was isolated from crustacean abdomen. This compound showed an efficient effect on leukocytes migration inhibition, in the concentration of 15 ?g/mL, reducing the cellular infiltration in 65% when compared to the controlled animals. In this same concentration, the DS reduced in 60% the protein concentration of the peritoneal exudates. In the concentration, this compound of 0.5 mg/mL, it was capable to reduce in 40% platelet/leukocytes adhesion. Our data demonstrate that these sulfated polysaccharides isolated from the shrimp L. schimitti will can be used as bioactive compounds, appearing as active principles for pharmacological development, anticoagulants and inflammatory response regulators

No entanto, apesar da posi??o privilegiada do Brasil para a obten??o destes compostos, ainda s?o poucas as informa??es cient?ficas sobre as subst?ncias isoladas e suas atividades biol?gicas. Diante do exposto, este presente trabalho teve por objetivos avaliar os potenciais farmacol?gicos dos glicosaminoglicanos (GAGs) isolados do camar?o marinho Litopenaeus schimitti, sobre a hemostasia, coagula??o sang??nea, migra??o leucocit?ria e ades?o celular. Para isso os GAGs foram extra?dos dos tecidos do crust?ceo mediante prote?lise, fracionamento com acetona e posteriormente submetidos aos ensaios farmacol?gicos. Os tecidos do crust?ceo, abd?men e cefalot?rax, apresentaram compostos semelhantes ? heparina (heparin?ides) com atividade anticoagulante de 45 UI/mg e 90 UI/mg, respectivamente. Estas mol?culas apresentaram baixo efeito hemorr?gico residual na concentra??o de 100 ?g/mL, quando comparada com a heparina comercial n?o fracionada (HNF). Um outro composto semelhante ao dermatam sulfato (DS), constitu?do predominantemente por dissacar?deos dissulfatados foi isolado do abd?men do crust?ceo. Este composto apresentou, na concentra??o de 15 ?g/?L, uma inibi??o significativa (P<0.01) da migra??o leucocit?ria, reduzindo a infiltra??o celular em 65% quando comparado com os animais controle. Nessa mesma concentra??o o DS reduziu em 60% a concentra??o de prote?nas do lavado peritonial. As an?lises qualitativas da composi??o celular do exudato peritonial foram similares ao encontrado para os animais controles em todas as concentra??es testadas. Na concentra??o de 0,5 mg/mL foi capaz de reduzir em 40% a ades?o das plaquetas aos leuc?citos. Os dados obtidos demonstram que estes polissacar?deos sulfatados isolados do camar?o L.schimitti podem vir a ser utilizados como compostos bioativos, podendo surgir como princ?pios ativos para o desenvolvimento de f?rmacos, anticoagulantes e moduladores da resposta inflamat?ria

Resumen
In the past 15 years, many efforts were made to create functionalized artificial surfaces showing special anti-bacterial and anti-biofouling properties. Thereby, the topography of medical relevant materials plays an important role. However, the targeted fabrication of promising surface structures like hole-, lamella- and pyramid-like patterns with feature sizes in the sub-micrometer range in a one-step process is still a challenge. Optical and e-beam lithography, molding and selfassembly layers show a great potential to design topographies for this purpose. At the same time, most of these techniques are based on sequential processes, require masks or molds and thus are very device relevant and time consuming. In this work, we present the Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) technology as a capable method for the fast, flexible and direct fabrication of periodic micrometer- and submicrometer structures. This method offers the possibility to equip large plain areas and curved devices with 1D, 2D and 3D patterns. Simple 1D (e.g. lines) and complex 3D (e.g. lamella, pillars) patterns with periodic distances from 0.5 μm to 5 μm were fabricated on polymeric materials (polyimide, polystyrene). Subsequently, we characterized the adhesion behavior of Staphylococcus epidermidis and S. aureus bacteria under in vitro and in vivo conditions. The results revealed that the topographies have a significant impact on bacteria adhesion. On the one side, one-dimensional line-like structures especially with dimensions of the bacteria enhanced microbe attachment. While on the other hand, complex three-dimensional patterns prevented biofilm formation even after implantation and contamination in living organisms.

Resumen
Ces travaux de recherche s'inscrivent dans le cadre du développement de nouvelles surfaces biocompatibles capables de contrôler l'adhésion d'agents pathogènes responsables de maladies neurodégénératives telles que les maladies de Creutzfeld Jacob, Alzheimer, Parkinson et Lewis. Deux axes de recherche ont été privilégiés. Notre approche se focalise en amont des dosages sur l'amélioration des procédures de stockage des prélèvements biologiques réalisés dans des tubes de type Eppendorf. Ces tubes en polypropylène induisent une perte du matériel génétique de plus de 70% accentuant la faible concentration en agent pathogène pour la détection immunoenzymatique. Dans le but de réduire les phénomènes indésirables d'adhésion des agents pathogènes à la surface des supports de stockage, deux voies de traitement ont été envisagées dans ce travail de thèse. La première consiste à modifier la surface du tube Eppendorf en une étape par décharge plasma fluoré, la seconde à créer de nouvelles surfaces hydrophiles en deux étapes couplant la technique des plasmas froids au greffage de polymères, les agents pathogènes pouvant être hydrophiles ou hydrophobes. Avec cette dernière technique, une voie originale a été abordée de part l'utilisation de solutions de greffage complexes composées à la fois de polymères et de molécules tensioactives. Les surfaces ainsi obtenues présentent une nano-structuration. Toutes les étapes de modification de la surface interne des tubes de stockage ont été caractérisées. Ces surfaces sont alors décrites selon leur caractère hydrophile ou hydrophobe grâce à la détermination des énergies de surface polaire et apolaire, selon leur charge de surface obtenue par mesure du potentiel d'écoulement, selon leur composition chimique déterminée par spectroscopie à photoélectrons X (XPS) et enfin selon leur topographie et leur rugosité relevées par microscopie à force atomique (AFM). Les interactions entre les groupements fonctionnels ainsi obtenus à la surface des tubes de stockage après les divers traitements et les protéines antigéniques considérées ont été interprétées en se référant aux différents modèles de l'adhésion pour des gammes de pH proches des protocoles biologiques usuels. Afin de s'assurer que ces nouvelles surfaces permettent bien une diminution de l'adhésion des agents infectieux sur la paroi interne des tubes de polypropylène, des analyses immunoenzymatiques ont été réalisées au sein des centres hospitaliers participant au projet STREP NEUROSCREEN n° LSHB-CT 2006-03 7719 (CRPP de Liège et CHU de Lyon). Ces analyses ont permis de montrer que la modification des surfaces entraîne une diminution de l'absorption des agents pathogènes jusqu'à 100% permettant ainsi une meilleure détection.

Resumen
Os riscos provocados pela Terapia de Reposição Hormonal, levaram à busca de novas terapias, como os fitoestrógenos. São substâncias com ação estrogênica e propriedades que podem retardar a formação de placas ateroscleróticas. Isoflavonas são os fitoestrógenos mais estudados e são encontradas na soja, no red clover e em outras plantas. Avaliamos os efeitos dos fitoestrógenos extraídos da soja Glycine max: genisteína, formononetina, biocanina A e daidzeína; a mistura entre eles (Mix1); o extrato padronizado de red clover (Menoflavon 40mg) e uma segunda mistura com os fitoestrógenos extraídos da Glycine max nas concentrações encontradas no Menoflavon (Mix2), na expressão de moléculas de adesão de leucócitos, VCAM-1, ICAM-1 e E-selectina, em cultura de células endoteliais de cordão umbilical humano (HUVEC), assim como na linhagem modificada de célula endotelial, ECV304, estimuladas com LPS. Resultados: foram padronizados os tempos e concentrações de exposição ao LPS no cultivo de HUVEC de 1ug durante 12 horas de exposição para as três moléculas de adesão; e no cultivo de ECV304 para a expressão de VCAM-1, de 500ng durante 12 horas, para ICAM-1 de 1ug durante 18 horas, para E-selectina 100ng durante 18 horas na superfície celular e 200ng durante 24 horas no sobrenadante de culturas de ECV304, permitindo que este tipo celular seja utilizado como modelo de inflamação. Os fitoestrógenos reduziram VCAM-1, ICAM-1 e E-selectina na superfície celular assim como as formas solúveis dessas moléculas, tanto em ECV304 como em HUVEC, sendo efetivos como agentes preventivos e também para tratamento da aterosclerose. A mistura entre os fitoestrógenos não apresentou maior eficiência na redução das moléculas de adesão na superfície celular, mas apresentou diferenças significativas na produção das formas solúveis. Tanto em ECV304, quanto em HUVEC os fitoestrógenos extraídos do red clover e os extraídos da soja Glycine max reduziram as moléculas de adesão na superfície celular e no sobrenadante, sendo que o Menoflavon, apresentou maior efetividade na redução das moléculas de adesão que os fitoestrógenos extraídos da soja Glycine max, em HUVEC. Ocorreram interações entre os fitoestrógenos e o 17 estradiol, tanto em ECV304 quanto em HUVEC, principalmente quando este se encontrava em baixas concentrações, sugerindo proteção para mulheres na menopausa. Esses efeitos dos fitoestrógenos ocorreram via receptor de estrógeno, como demonstrado pela inibição de suas ações por ICI. Conclusão: tanto os fitoestrógenos extraídos da soja Glycine max quanto os extraídos do red clover apresentaram efeitos anti-aterogênicos, podendo atuar como cardioprotetores para mulheres pós-menopausa.
The risks of hormone replacement therapy have led to a search for new alternatives such as the use of phytoestrogens, plant compounds with estrogen-like biological activity. Isoflavones are the phytoestrogens most extensively studied and can be found in soy, red clover and other plants. Due this estrogen-like activity phytoestrogens can have some effect on atherosclerosis. We evaluated the effects of the phytoestrogens extracts from Glycine max soy: genistein, formononetin, biocanin A and daidzein; a Mix between them (Mix1); a standardized red clover extracts (Menoflavon 40mg) and a second Mix using phytoestrogens from Glycine max with same Menoflavon concentrations (Mix2) on adhesion molecules expression, VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and E-selectin by endothelial cell HUVEC, and by endothelial cell line ECV304, stimulated with LPS. Results: were standardized time and concentration to LPS exposure, being 1ug during 12 hours for the three adhesion molecules expression on HUVEC, and 500ng during 12 hours for VCAM-1 expression, 1ug during 18 hours for ICAM-1 expression and 100ng during 18 hours for E-selectin expression on cell surface as well as 200ng during 24 hours to E-selectin increase on culture supernadant, on ECV 304 cell line. The phytoestrogens decreased VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and E-selectin levels on cell surface and on culture supernadant in HUVEC and ECV304, being useful as preventive agents as well as treatment agents. Mix1 were not most effective than isolated phytoestrogens on cell surface, but presented decreased results on soluble forms. Menoflavon presented more effectiveness than Glycine max on HUVEC. Phytoestrogens interacted with 17 oestradiol mainly, in low concentrations (10pg), showing protection for post menopausal women. These phytoestrogens effects happened by oestrogen receptor activation, this was demonstrated through phytoestrogens inhibition by ICI. Conclusions: the phytoestrogens from Glycine max as well as phytoestrogens from red clover presented antiatherogenic effects, mainly when 17 estradiol is low, being usefull for postmenopausal women.

Resumen
A literatura relata que o veneno de Crotalus durissus terrificus (VCdt) ou suas toxinas isoladas modulam a resposta inflamatória. A crotoxina (CTX) é a principal toxina do VCdt, representando aproximadamente 65% do conteúdo do veneno bruto. Dando continuidade aos estudos que evidenciam o efeito modulador do VCdt sobre a inflamação, foi demonstrado que o VCdt apresenta um efeito anti-inflamatório prolongado sobre a resposta inflamatória induzida pela carragenina (Cg), em camundongos. Esse estudo mostrou que uma única dose de VCdt, administrada pela via subcutânea, 7 ou 21 dias antes da injeção de Cg inibe, respectivamente, o desenvolvimento do edema de pata e a migração celular para a cavidade peritoneal, induzidos por este agente inflamatório. Este efeito anti-inflamatório também foi observado após a instalação da resposta inflamatória (Nunes et al., 2007). Além disso, foi demonstrado também que a CTX, é a toxina responsável por este efeito anti-inflamatório prolongado. Ainda, dados recentes mostram que os receptores para peptídeo formil, tais como lipoxina/anexina, mediadores com potente ação anti-inflamatória, estão envolvidos no efeito da CTX. Em continuidade a essa linha de investigação, este trabalho teve por objetivo caracterizar o efeito da CTX sobre a expressão de mediadores pró-inflamatórios e de moléculas de adesão envolvidas na resposta inflamatória induzida pela Cg. em camundongos. Além de avaliar também o efeito desta toxina sobre a translocação da subunidade p65 do NF-κB para o núcleo celular. Para tanto, foi, investigado o efeito de uma única dose de CTX (44 μg/kg) sobre: a expressão de P-selectina, ICAM-1, PECAM-1 e Mac-1; sobre a secreção de TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, PGE2, e LTB4 e sobre a expressão de iNOS e p65. Cabe destacar ainda que, um inibidor da síntese de glicocorticoides (Mifepristone), bem como um antagonista de receptor para glicocorticoides (Metirapona) foram administrados antes do tratamento da CTX, para avaliar também a participação de glicocorticoides endógenos no efeito anti-inflamatório da CTX. A administração subcutânea de uma única dose de CTX produziu: 1- diminuição da secreção de TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6; 2- diminuição da expressão de P-selectina e ICAM-1 e 3- diminuição da expressão de p65. Por outro lado, a CTX não alterou os níveis de PGE2, e LTB4, como também não alterou a expressão de iNOS e Mac-1. Além disso, nossos resultados sugerem que os glicocorticóides endógenos não interferem no efeito anti-inflamatório da CTX, uma vez que o pré-tratamento com Mifepristone ou Metirapona não alteraram o efeito inibitório desta toxina sobre a migração celular. Em conjunto, os resultados caracterizam o efeito anti-inflamatório da CTX sobre a migração celular induzida pela Cg e sugerem que esta toxina pode inibir a expressão de importantes substâncias pró-inflamatórias envolvidas na resposta inflamatória pela Cg ao inibir a ativação do fator de transcrição, NF-κB, uma vez que este fator favorece a transcrição de vários genes, cujas proteínas são importantes no desenvolvimento da resposta inflamatória. Esses resultados contribuem para a elucidação dos mecanismos envolvidos na ação modulatória da CTX sobre a resposta inflamatória
The literature shows that Crotalus durissus terrificus snake venom (CdtV) or their toxins isolated modulate the inflammatory response. The crotoxin (CTX) is the main toxin of CdtV, representing approximately 65% of the content of the crude venom. It was demonstrated that CdtV presents a long-lasting anti-inflammatory effect induced by carrageenan (Cg) in mice. This study showed that a single dose of CdtV inhibits respectively, the development of paw edema and cell migration to the peritoneal cavity induced by this inflammatory agent. This anti-inflammatory effect was also observed after installation of the inflammatory response (Nunes et al., 2007). Furthermore, it was also demonstrated that CTX is responsible for this long-lasting anti-inflammatory effect. Still, recent data show that the formil peptide receptors, such as lipoxin/anexin, mediators with potent anti-inflammatory action, are involved in the effect of CTX. The aim of this study is characterize the effect of CTX on the expression of proinflammatory mediators and adhesion molecules involved in the inflammatory response induced by Cg in mice and also evaluate the effect of the toxin on translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-κB to the nucleus. Therefore, it was investigated the effect of a single dose of CTX (44 μg/kg) on: P-selectin, ICAM-1, PECAM-1 and Mac-1 expression; TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, PGE2 and LTB4 secretion and, on iNOS and p65 expression. It should be noted that a synthesis of glucocorticoids inhibitor (Mifepristone) and a glucocorticoid antagonist receptor (Metyrapone) were administrated before CTX treatment to evaluate the involvement of endogenous glucocorticoids in the anti-inflammatory effect of CTX. Our results show that a single dose of CTX produced: reduction of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 secretion; reduction of P-selectin and ICAM-1 expression and reduction of p65 expression. Moreover, CTX did not alter levels of PGE2 and LTB4 secretion and did not alter iNOS and Mac-1 expression. Furthermore, our results suggest that endogenous glucocorticoids do not interfere with anti-inflammatory effect of CTX, since that pre-treatment with Mifepristone and Metyrapone did not alter the inhibitory effect of this toxin on cell migration induced by Cg and suggest that this toxin can inhibit the expression of important proinflammatory substances involved in the inflammatory response induced by Cg to inhibit the NF-κB activation, since this factor promotes the transcription of several genes whose proteins are important in the development inflammatory response. These results contribute to the elucidation of the mechanisms involved in the modulatory action of CTX on the inflammatory response

Resumen
La biocontamination de surface par des microorganismes provoque d’importantes conséquences économiques et sanitaires. Les différents moyens de prévention mis en place de nos jours utilisent des composés biocides nocifs pour l’environnement et participent à la recrudescence de l’antibiorésistance des organismes pathogènes. Ces travaux de recherche étudient une approche alternative non-biocide et non-toxique. Elle consiste à inhiber l’adhésion microbienne en appliquant une couche de monofuranosides sur une surface. La conception des surfaces a débuté par les synthèses glycosidiques des furanosides cibles à partir du D-Glucose, D-Galactose et D- Mannose. Des homologues pyranosidiques, connus pour leur activité antiadhésive, ont été réalisés afin de comparer l’intérêt de la forme cyclique. Ces sucres ont ensuite été greffés par chimie click sur une surface de verre préfonctionnalisée et au travers d’un lien O-glycosidique ou S- glycosidique via un groupe triazole. Les surfaces résultantes ont été caractérisées à l’aide de la goniométrie et de la spectroscopie photoélectron par rayons X. Les études d’adhésion avec Pseudomonas aeruginosa ont révélé une activité anti-biodhésion des surfaces furanosidiques et pyranosidiques. Les interactions spécifiques et non-spécifiques ont été explorées gràce à l’adhésion de mutants déficiants en lectine et d’un modèle thermodynamique. Les résultats ont conclu que l’activité antiadhésive des monosaccharides était davantage liée aux propriétés physicochimiques des sucres plutôt qu’à des interactions biologiques
Surface biocontamination from microorganisms leads to serious economic and health issues. Nowadays, biocide compounds are mostly used as prevention. Nonetheless, they are known to be toxic for environment and to participate in the rise of the antibiotic resistance of pathogens. These research works examine a non-biocide and non-toxic approach. It is based on the inhibition of the microbial adhesion with a monofuranoside-functionalized surface. The development of surfaces was started with the glycosidic synthesis of target furanosides from D-Glucose, D-Galactose and D-Mannose. In order to compare the interest of the cyclic form, pyranosidic homologues, known for their anti-adhesive activity, were also achieved. The modified glycosides were then grafted to a prefunctionalized glass surface linked through an O-glycosidic or S-glycosidic via a triazole group. The resulted surfaces were characterized using goniometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The adhesion studies with Pseudomonas aeruginosa have shown an anti-bioadhesion activity with furanosidic and glycosidic surfaces. Specific and non-specific interactions were explored through lectin deficient mutant strains and a thermodynamic approach. The anti-bioadhesive activity was concluded to depent more on the carbohydrate physicochemical properties, rather than the biological interactions

Resumen
Ce travail de thèse est consacré à la préparation de glycopolymères porteurs de groupements pendants mannoside d’heptyle et à l’évaluation de la capacité de ces ligands multivalents à inhiber la fixation bactérienne sur les cellules humaines. Nous avons synthétisé, par polymérisation radicalaire contrôlée, une série de glycopolymères linéaires ou en étoile présentant des masses molaires, des densités en mannoside et des microstructures modulables dans le but d’évaluer l’influence de ces paramètres sur les processus d’interactions avec diverses souches de bactéries E coli (AIEC LF82 et UTI 89). Nous avons tout d’abord mis en évidence par diffusion dynamique et statique de la lumière, la formation d’agrégats entre ces glycopolymères et FimH, la lectine à l’origine de la fixation de souches de bactéries E coli, traduisant des interactions fortes entre les motifs mannosides et les sites de reconnaissance au mannose de la lectine. Nous avons ensuite évalué l’aptitude de ces ligands multivalents à bloquer l’adhésion bactérienne d’AIEC LF82 (impliquée dans la maladie de Crohn) sur des cellules épithéliales intestinales T84. Il a été démontré en conditions in vitro que l’ajout de 10 nM ou 100 nM d’unités mannoside (respectivement en pré- ou post-incubation) réduit de moitié l’adhésion des bactéries sur les cellules épithéliales. L’effet anti-adhésif de ces glycopolymères a été confirmé par des tests ex vivo réalisés sur des intestins isolés de souris transgéniques CEABAC10. Enfin, nous avons exploité la technique de nanoprécipitation pour l’élaboration de nanocapsules de glycopolymères à cœur huileux. Le procédé développé permet la synthèse de nanocapsules de dimensions contrôlées, porteuses de groupements fonctionnels (fluorophores, ligands) ou de particules métalliques et l’encapsulation de molécules actives à cœur en une seule étape
This PhD work focuses on the preparation of glycopolymers bearing pendent heptyl mannose groups and the evaluation of the capability of such multivalent ligands to inhibit bacterial adhesion to human cells. Aiming at understanding the impact of various structural parameters on glycopolymer/ E coli interactions (AIEC LF82 et UTI 89 strains of E. coli), a series of linear and star-shaped glycopolymers with tunable molecular weight, mannoside density and microstructure (block copolymers, gradient copolymers, random copolymers) has been constructed. The association of the glycopolymers with FimH adhesin, a lectin which possesses a mannose-specific receptor site and is responsible for recognition and binding to host cells, was first confirmed by static and dynamic light scattering experiments. The propensity of the glycopolymers to prevent attachment of E. coli (AIEC LF82 involved in Crohn’s disease) to intestinal epithelial cells (T84 cells) was further investigated through adhesion assays. It was shown that under in vitro conditions, the addition of 10 nM or 100 nM of glycopolymer on a mannose unit basis (in pre-incubation and post-incubation respectively) decreases by half the bacterial adhesion to intestinal epithelial cells. The anti-adhesive effect of these multivalent ligands was further confirmed in ex vivo conditions for colonic loops of transgenic CEABAC10 mice (Crohn’s disease model mouse). Finally we took advantage of the nanoprecipitation process to generate glyconanocapsules with oily core. The employed strategy allowed for preparing well-defined nanocapsules bearing groups of interest (tags, ligands) or metal particles within the shell and loaded with active molecules in the core in one step

Resumen
Les encéphalites limbiques à autoanticorps anti-CASPR2 sont des atteintes du système nerveux central caractérisées par des troubles de la mémoire et des crises d’épilepsie. La protéine CASPR2 (Contactin-associated protein-like 2), avec son partenaire TAG-1, est connue pour son rôle dans le rassemblement des canaux potassiques voltage-dépendants (Kv1.1 et Kv1.2) dans la région juxtaparanodale des nœuds de Ranvier ; régions essentielles pour la conduction rapide des messages nerveux. Par ailleurs, de plus en plus d’études suggèrent un rôle de CASPR2 dans la plasticité synaptique et l’excitabilité neuronale, en lien avec les symptômes observés chez les patients présentant des anticorps anti-CASPR2. Cependant, le rôle pathogénique des anticorps anti-CASPR2 dans les encéphalites limbiques reste loin d’être compris. Au cours de ma thèse, j’ai souhaité améliorer la connaissance des mécanismes pathologiques des anticorps anti-CASPR2 de patient dans l’encéphalite limbique auto-immune. Pour cela, j’ai déterminé les caractéristiques biologiques des anticorps anti-CASPR2, suggérant un rôle direct des anticorps sur la fonction de CASPR2 en ciblant les domaines N-terminaux de la protéine. De plus, j’ai identifié deux mécanismes d’action potentiels des anticorps anti-CASPR2 sur l’interaction entre CASPR2 et TAG-1 et sur l’expression des canaux Kv1.2 en surface. Ces travaux impliquent d’avantage les anticorps anti-CASPR2 dans la pathogénicité des encéphalites limbiques auto-immunes
Anti-CASPR2 autoimmune limbic encephalitis is a central nervous system disorder characterized by memory disorders and epilepsy. CASPR2 (Contactin-associated protein-like 2) with its partner TAG-1, is known for its role in the clusterisation of voltage-dependent potassium channels (Kv1.1 and Kv1.2) in the juxtaparanodal region of node of Ranvier; which are essential for the rapid conduction of nerve signals. In addition, an increasing number of studies suggest a role of CASPR2 in synaptic plasticity and neuronal excitability, in relation with the symptoms observed in patients with anti-CASPR2 antibodies. However, the pathogenic role of anti-CASPR2 antibodies in limbic encephalitis remains far from clear. During my thesis I wished to improve our understanding of the mechanisms mediated by anti-CASPR2 antibodies in limbic encephalitis. To this end, I determined the biological characteristics of anti-CASPR2 antibodies, suggesting a direct role of antibodies on CASPR2 function by targeting its N-terminal domains. Furthermore, I identified two potential mechanisms of anti-CASPR2 antibodies on CASPR2/TAG-1 interaction and on Kv1.2 cell surface expression. These works further implicate anti-CASPR2 antibodies in the pathogenicity of autoimmune limbic encephalitis

Resumen
Polysialylated NCAM (polySia-NCAM) is re-expressed in a number of tumours, including small cell lung carcinoma and neuroblastoma and is strongly associated with aggressive, invasive and metastatic tumours in the clinic. SiRNA knockdown of the polysialyltransferases (polySTs), the enzymes responsible for polysialylation of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), has been shown to abolish cell migration. PolySia-NCAM is thus a highly attractive novel therapeutic target. A library of potential polyST inhibitors has been synthesised, using substrate-based design and computational chemistry. Compounds synthesised include N-acylmannosamine analogues, thio-linked CMP-sialic acid analogues, N-acyl modified sialic acids and compounds incorporating elements of both approaches. Novel methodology development in the synthesis of many of the compounds is described, notably a novel route to N-acyl sialosides. In addition, compounds identified from in silico screening were considered. Routes to synthesis and isolation of analogues of biologically active compounds are described. Using an enzyme assay, compounds were evaluated for their ability to reduce polySia synthesis through polyST inhibition. Effects of agents on polySia expression in cells, and the ability of compounds to reduce cell migration in vitro was studied using a wound healing ‘scratch assay’. The data from these experiments revealed a number of potent modulators of polySia assembly and their efficacy in reducing cell migration, as well as the limits of the biosynthetic pathway to accept unnatural sialic acid precursors. This is the first example of polyST inhibition modulating tumour cell migration, and points to the potential of the polysialyltransferases as a therapeutic target in metastatic tumours.

Resumen
A tuberculose permanece como um dos maiores problemas de saúde pública mundial. O diagnóstico precoce e o tratamento rápido e eficiente dos indivíduos com tuberculose pulmonar ativa são medidas essenciais para a redução da morbidade, mortalidade e da incidência da tuberculose no mundo. As limitações encontradas nos métodos microbiológicos tradicionais, fizeram com que metodologias alternativas fossem desenvolvidas para melhorar o diagnóstico e o prognóstico da tuberculose humana. Neste trabalho verificamos o desempenho diagnóstico do Western blotting para pesquisa de anticorpos IgG anti - Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a utilização do teste QuantiFERON® - TB Gold e a detecção de moléculas de adesão celular (ICAM-1 e selectinas) como marcadores de prognóstico. Foram acompanhados até o final do tratamento 31 pacientes com tuberculose pulmonar diagnosticados por critérios clínicos e laboratoriais. Como controles, selecionamos população de indivíduos sadios, doadores de banco de sangue e indivíduos com outras pneumopatias. Os resultados mostraram que o Western blotting apresentou sensibilidade de 94% e especificidade de 96% no diagnóstico da tuberculose pulmonar, atendendo os requisitos da OMS para testes sorológicos. O QuantiFERON® - TB Gold apresentou sensibilidade de 83% e especificidade de 100%, após ajuste do limiar de reatividade. Os resultados das moléculas de adesão celular sugerem potencial para serem utilizadas como marcadores de prognóstico da doença. Ao associarmos os resultados do Western blotting ou do QuantiFERON® - TB Gold com a baciloscopia obtivemos sensibilidade superior a 95%; e quando associados à cultura a sensibilidade encontrada foi de 100%. O Western blotting mostrou ser uma ferramenta útil como auxiliar no diagnóstico da tuberculose pulmonar mesmo em pacientes com baciloscopia negativa.
Tuberculosis remains a major public-health problem. Rapid diagnosis and prompt treatment is the cornerstone to reduce morbidity, mortality and incidence of tuberculosis in the world. Alternative methods have been developed to overcome the limitations presented by conventional microbiological methods and to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of tuberculosis. In this study we verified the diagnostic performance of Western blotting for IgG anti-M.tuberculosis antibodies detection, QuantiFERON® - TB Gold and circulating adhesion molecules (ICAM-1 and Selectins) as prognosis markers. Thirty-one patients were followed-up during the treatment. Active pulmonary tuberculosis was diagnosed by clinical and laboratorial criteria. As group control healthy individuals, blood donors and patients with other lung diseases were included. Western blotting results showed a high performance with sensitivity of 94% and specificity of 96% for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis, attending WHO requirements for serological tests. After adjusting the threshold, QuantiFERON® - TB Gold showed sensitivity of 83% and specificity of 100%. The results of adhesion molecules suggested potential to use the test as prognosis markers. Combining Western blotting or QuantiFERON® - TB Gold with acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear results, the overall sensitivity increase to more than 95%, and when combined with culture the overall sensitivity was 100%. Together, these findings, suggest that Western blotting could be a very useful supplementary tool for pulmonary tuberculosis, especially in patients with AFB smear negative.

The high blood pressure is a multifactorial chronic disease which possesses emotional and social features in the illness appearance and evolution and in the adherence to the treatment which involves a decision-making through patient so that he or she process the necessary changes on harmful living habits. Adhesion, traditionally, it is referred to the patient to answer to the doctor orientations or of other health professional, about the appearance to the appointment with a doctor, about the use of medicine or lifestyle changes and maintaining this adhesion is the main problem to be overcame. It is expected the adhesion will ever be a continual, stable and satisfactory action, disregarding the complexity of subjectivity processes which permeate the sicken. This research aimed to investigate the difficulties which the person with high blood pressure has to adhere to the treatment, from the signification processes which give sense to the actions dealing with the adhesion. The study was carried out with 48 users of assistance program to the high blood pressure patient from Hospital Universit?rio from Natal RN, between 40-65 age. The answers were submitted to a double analysis process: 1) answer systematization in categories and codes and admission in statistical program SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Science), for generation of descriptive statistics; 2) Sense and signification analysis which permeated the deepener statement and interpretatively. The greater difficulties found are present on low-salt and law-calorie diets, in the dealing with everyday feeling and stress, being these factors cited as direct motive to the high blood pressure, regardless of interviewee s sex. It is observed there is not adhesion, but adhering, as an experienced everyday process. This work contributes with its results, assessing the used strategies by program with the aim of increasing the adhesion rates

World has been suffering demographic transformations, which are reflecting in a population aging, causing changes in the social and economic aspects. In Brazil, in the next 20 years, the elderly people will be probably over 30 million people, almost 13% of the population according to data informed by Geography and Statistics Brazilian Institute (BRAZIL, 2003). Among the illnesses that attack elderly people, the arterial hypertension is the most frequent one, affecting about 60 to 70% of this population. It is frequent the presence of two or more illnesses in the same elder, what causes a greater demand on public health. Relating to the same sort, several studies show that there is less adhesion to the treatment for the male population. Based on this context, I decided to think about cultural, social and cognitive aspects of the elder who suffers from hypertension in relation to his not adhesion. I tried to understand the men s perception about the medicinal action and their relationship with the health professionals. It was a descriptive and qualitative study, for the approach remained serving the research, with the aim of reaching the best of the desired knowledge (LAVILLE, 1999). I tried to understand the problems that appear in the social field, in order to contribute to the solution of the same ones. The persons of the research had been elderly male that suffer from hypertension and not adhere to the treatment, registered in the official list of a Family Health Basic Unit, which is located in the east side of São Paulo city. In the attempt of knowing them, it was applied a mean of collect with opened questions in the form of semistructured interview, in which I tried to approach myself to their cultural codes through their own speeches. According to the deponents, I visualized the difficulties experienced for them in relation to their not adhesion to the treatment. Cultural concepts had been used for analysis of the data and, at the same time, I used others theoretical elements, emphasising the large diversity of the deponents speeches. Theoretical referential developed by anthropologist Geertz and the Paidéia de Campos method had been used too. Based on the analysis, I observed that for a part of men, the aging is faced as the end of the life, a phase in which should not created perspectives refereeing to the quality of live, while to others, in spite of being difficult, as they say, the aging appears as an opportunity to know and accomplish things that brings pleasure. The alcoholism and the difficulty of communication between the professionals and users collaborate to their not adhesion to the treatment. The social cultural factors appeared as contributors to the construction of the male subjectivity, increasing the disadvantage some how the morbid mortality of the men in relation to the women. The conclusion that the lack of equality in the offered services in relation to the attention to the male health influences directly and it has an impact in his not adhesion to the treatment.
O mundo está passando por transformações demográficas, refletindo em um envelhecimento populacional, acarretando mudanças nos aspectos sociais e econômicos. No Brasil, nos próximos 20 anos, a população idosa poderá ultrapassar os 30 milhões de pessoas, quase 13% da população, segundo dados divulgados pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (BRASIL, 2003). Dentre as doenças que acometem os idosos, a hipertensão arterial é a mais freqüente, aparecendo em 60 a 70% dessa população. É freqüente em um mesmo idoso a presença de duas ou mais doenças, o que causa uma maior demanda na saúde pública. Em relação ao gênero, vários estudos demonstram que existe menor adesão ao tratamento por parte da população masculina. A partir desse contexto, decidi refletir sobre os aspectos culturais, sociais e cognitivos do homem idoso hipertenso e a não adesão, compreender a percepção que o homem apresenta em relação à ação medicamentosa e aos profissionais da saúde. Tratou-se de um estudo qualitativo descritivo, pois a abordagem realizada permaneceu a serviço da pesquisa, com o objetivo de tirar o melhor possível dos saberes desejados.(LAVILLE,1999). Procurei compreender os problemas que surgem no campo social, a fim de contribuir para a solução dos mesmos. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram homens idosos hipertensos que não aderem ao tratamento, cadastrados em uma Unidade Básica da Saúde da Família, localizada na Região Leste da Cidade de São Paulo. Na tentativa de conhecê-los, foi aplicado um instrumento de coleta com perguntas abertas na forma de entrevista semi-estruturada, quando procurei me aproximar dos seus códigos culturais por meio dos seus discursos. A partir da fala dos depoentes, visualizei as dificuldades vivenciadas por eles em relação à não adesão ao tratamento. Para análise dos dados, foram utilizados elementos teóricos, valorizando a riqueza dos relatos dos depoentes, o referencial desenvolvido pelo antropólogo Geertz e o método Paidéia de Campos. A partir da análise realizada, observei que para uma parcela dos sujeitos, o envelhecimento é visto como o fim da vida, uma fase na qual não se deve criar perspectivas referentes à qualidade de vida, enquanto para outros, apesar de ser difícil, como verbalizaram, o envelhecer aparece como uma oportunidade para conhecer e realizar o que dá prazer. Colaboram para a não adesão a presença do alcoolismo e a dificuldade de comunicação entre os profissionais e usuários. Os fatores socioculturais apareceram como contribuintes para a construção da subjetividade masculina, favorecendo uma desvantagem em termos de morbi-mortalidade do homem em relação à mulher. Conclui-se que a falta de eqüidade nos serviços oferecidos em relação à atenção à saúde do homem influencia diretamente e tem impacto na sua não adesão ao tratamento

Resumen
Au cours de la dernière décennie, l’avènement des immunothérapies antitumorales a été une vraie percée dans le monde de la cancérologie avec le succès clinique des inhibiteurs de point de contrôle immunitaire (ICP) ou des thérapies cellulaires basées sur l’utilisation de récepteurs antigéniques chimériques (CAR). Cependant, aujourd’hui elles montrent leurs limites contre les tumeurs solides, notamment à cause d’un manque d’antigène spécifique et d’un microenvironnement tumoral complexe capable de moduler la réponse immune au profit de l’expansion des cellules cancéreuses. La molécule HLA-G est une protéine immunosuppressive participant exclusivement à la tolérance foeto-maternelle en contexte normal mais dont la fonction a été détournée par les tumeurs pour inhiber la réponse effectrice à son encontre. HLA-G est donc identifié comme un excellent antigène associé aux tumeurs et son inhibition est un élément crucial pour restaurer la réponse immunitaire anti-tumorale. Cependant, aucune stratégie immunothérapeutique ciblant HLA-G n’existait jusqu’à aujourd’hui.L’absence de traitement efficace contre ou ciblant HLA-G provient de l’incapacité à générer efficacement des anticorps contre cette protéine complexe du fait de la présence de nombreuses isoformes et de leurs caractères immunotolérogéniques. Dans la première partie de ces travaux, grâce à une méthode d’immunisation originale basée sur l’utilisation de vecteurs lentiviraux, nous avons pu générer des anticorps capables de reconnaitre le site d’interaction de HLA-G avec ses récepteurs et donc de potentiellement bloquer la fonction ICP de HLA-G. La deuxième partie de cette étude décrit la génération d’une thérapie CAR ciblant HLA-G en tant qu’antigène spécifique aux tumeurs. Tout d’abord, nous nous sommes préalablement concentrés sur la régulation et l’expression de la chaine CAR au niveau transcriptionnel. Cette approche visait à limiter les multiples effets secondaires liés à une thérapie CAR tels que l’activation continue des cellules CAR-T ou l’élimination de cellules saines exprimant l’antigène ciblé. Nous avons ensuite généré deux nouveaux CAR de 3ème génération capable de reconnaitre spécifiquement les isoformes majoritaires de HLA-G en contexte tumoral, et nous avons démontré leur efficacité à éliminer des tumeurs exprimant HLA-G in vitro et in vivo. Enfin, une série d’optimisations ont été réalisées sur la structure des protéines CAR pour augmenter leur capacité cytotoxique et permettre leur régulation par l’introduction du gène suicide iC9 pour les modèles précliniques. Nous démontrons pour la première fois que la thérapie CAR anti-HLA-G est extrêmement efficace in vitro et in vivo.Enfin, nous discutons du potentiel des immunothérapies anti-HLA-G aussi bien au travers des anticorps monoclonaux bloquants que des cellules CAR-T dans le contexte des tumeurs solides, de leurs implications sur le microenvironnement et de leur possible combinaison avec d’autres immunothérapies
Over the last decade, anti-tumor immunotherapies have been a breakthrough in the oncology field following the clinical successes obtained with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPs) or chimeric antigenic receptors (CAR) based therapies. However, they are less effective against solid tumors, especially because of the lack of tumor specific antigen and of a tumor microenvironment capable of inhibiting the immune response favoring the tumor expansion. The HLA-G molecule is an immunosuppressive protein originally exclusively demonstrated to be involved in maternal-fetal tolerance but whose function has been hijacked by tumors to inhibit and escape from immune responses. HLA-G is now identified as an exquisite tumor associated antigen and its inhibition is crucial to restore the anti-tumor immune responses. Yet, no immunotherapy directed against HLA-G has been developed to date.The lack of effective treatment against or targeting HLA-G is related to the inefficiency to induce antibodies against this complex protein since HLA-G could be expressed through several isoforms that are immunosuppressives. In the first part of this study, thanks to an original immunization method based on the use of lentiviral vectors, we demonstrate the possibility to generate antibodies which are capable to recognize the HLA-G interaction domain with its receptors and are expected to inhibit the ICP function of HLA-G. The second part describes a CAR-T cell immunotherapy targeting HLA-G for its TAA properties. We first focused on the regulation and on the expression of the CAR chain at the transcriptional level. This approach was meant to limit the side effects caused by CAR therapies such as continuous activation of the CAR-T cells or elimination of healthy cells expressing the targeted antigen. We then generated two new 3rd generation CARs demonstrated to specifically recognize major HLA-G isoforms expressed by tumor cells and to eradicate HLA-G expressing tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. Several optimizations were carried out on the CAR chain structure to increase CAR-T cells cytotoxic function and to control their persistence through the insertion of the iC9 suicide gene. Given the results presented here, we provide the first vitro and vivo proofs of concept that a CAR therapy directly targeting HLA-G, and more generally an ICP is strikingly efficient.Finally, we discussed the potential for both anti-HLA-G blocking monoclonal antibodies and CAR-T cells immunotherapies against solid tumors and its implication against the tumor microenvironment and possible combinations with other immunotherapies

In this study, it was nanoimprint focused on the anti-adhesion technique between the grating structure silicon molds below 200nm half-pitch and polymer materials (H-PDMS). The nano-groove structure molds with different depths and widths were made by FIB. During the process of molding by soft-lithography, an anti-adhesion layer needed being plated between the silicon and PDMS mold, which was in order to get completely formed H-PDMS soft mold and prevent defective mold caused by the adhesion problem on the surface. There were three kinds of method of plating anti-adhesion layer which were the liquid immersion, vapor deposition, and fluorine doped DLC film. The PFOTCS was used as mold releasing agent in the methods of liquid immersion and vapor deposition, and the contact angle was measured to realize the ability of anti-adhesion. In the method of fluorine doped DLC film, in addition to measuring the anti-adhesion ability for each sample through contact angle with water, the AFM was also applied to measure the degree of adhesion on the surface for each film. And the contact angles with water between each film were also compared. The methods of plating anti-adhesion film with lower degree of adhesion on the surface could be acquired and discussed by means of the above-mentioned ways to fabricate the molds with good formability
